History
Seibu-Chichibu Station opened on 14 October 1969 as the terminus of Seibu Railway's then-new Seibu Chichibu Line, in what is now the city of Chichibu, Saitama. The site was secured by relocating the Saitama Prefectural Chichibu Agricultural-Technical High School. From 1 April 1989 some trains began through-running onto the Chichibu Main Line in the Mitsumineguchi direction. The directly-operated "Seibu Chichibu Nakamise-dori" shopping arcade opened in 1991 and closed in May 2016; departure melodies arrived in 1994, and station numbering SI36 was assigned in fiscal 2012. The current refurbished station building, paired with the Matsuri-no-yu hot spring complex, opened in March and April 2017.
Notes
Seibu-Chichibu is the westernmost and northernmost station in the Seibu Railway network, and also the westernmost stop on any of the Kanto-area major private railways.
